ServiceNow Q2 2026: AI ACV Crosses $1B as Cybersecurity Hits $1B Run Rate
ServiceNow's Q2 2026 results reinforce its transition from a workflow automation platform into an AI-driven enterprise operating system. Subscription revenue grew 23% YoY to $3.877 billion with a 29.5% operating margin, beating the high end of guidance. AI ACV crossed the $1 billion milestone and cybersecurity reached a $1 billion run rate, validating the acquisition strategy behind Armis and Moveworks. Management raised full-year guidance and expressed confidence in sustained AI-driven demand, though margin dynamics from consumption-based pricing and integration costs remain the key watch items.

Methodology
Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.
Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.
Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
